Answer:

b = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

b² + 12² = 15²

b² + 144 = 225 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

b² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )

b = \sqrt{81} = 9
